Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012

I really like the concepts for the Skins that Buster earlier today, but my only questions with having the stripes on the under shirt instead of the actual jersey itself is can they really force every player to wear the under shirt?
I would think that there are players that wouldn't want to wear that kind of form fitting shirt if they're not used to it. I guess they could wear a baggier version, almost like a normal t-shirt, but I think that would probably look weird, and again, can you force them to wear it?

Well, they could always fine the players each week they choose not to wear it. I would imagine a good majority wear the "under armor" stuff already, but just that what they wear is sleeveless. Looks like these under shirts are basically the same thing, but just a longer "short" sleeve.

My wife has that crap at home and when you melt it in a pan it turns into 50% water.

Yeah, I call that "I can't believe it's hot water"

don't know about those,but the redskins do need to change their helmet and uniform design.the old dark burgundy with the arrowhead on the sides were nice.

Why? And the anni unis with the spear were amateur, no way.

I agree about white on burgundy, I prefer that too, but the gold pants are great looking with the burg jerseys.

Nike used those on Oregon State's PC uniforms and it's a genius idea actually. It eliminated the effects of jersey tailoring and fitting issues that messes up the stripes or completely eliminates them on some players. It has gotten to the point where Brett Favre was the only active player with proper sleeve stripes.


Serious business lol; we're sending you to sleeve stripe obsession rehab.

Your right

As for the UNIS, they apparently are fakes I heard that from NIKE a while back
Yep, just came across this http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/522216-nike-pro-combat-nfl-uniforms-check-out-fake-unis-that-tricked-fans/page/1

It's part of the uniform so yes, they'd have to wear it. Sorry Osi, the gun show will have to take a back seat to uniformity.

Seriously, his looks like a basketball jersey, it looks horrible.

I'm dragging Summo along. :D

It does look horrible!

Osi and other guys modify their jerseys like that so lineman don't have anything to grab on to.

Buster stikes me as the type of guy that will only have missionary sex with his wife because he is afraid to try anything new.

I am not for all of those crazy revamps of the uniform but I do like subtle improvements. I like most of the newer NFL uniforms over the throwbacks because they look a little more modern. I am sorry but the old 2 colors with basic stripe design is way too bland.

The cut off sleeves are more for function than for look (less to hold on to). Because of the more functional sleeves the half stripes make more sense.

As far as pant stripes are concerned I rather like the thick, pointed, half stripes over the long and skinny, tripple, stripes. It gives the pants more color.
